Chapter 135: A slip of the tongue (3)
Satan looked at the situation in Palma Square and was lost in thought for a moment.
He opened his mouth first.
“How does Frontier use that power?”
Demon power.
In fact, it is fundamentally the same power as divine power. Also, when two people meet, a pantemonium occurs.
Those who know this usually call this power ‘ecclexis’.
However, although I have seen gods and demons use it, this is the first time I have seen it used by humans.
‘… No, I didn’t actually see it, but I heard it was used by ‘giants.’
War between gods and humans. I don’t know about Satan, who didn’t participate, but there was definitely something like that.
Mamon spoke from next to me.
“You’ve heard this report before.”
“Hmm, I guess I’d say it’s surprising to see it in person.”
Satan tilted his head.
I heard that Frontier uses the power of the devil. In addition, those who did not know the true nature of its power claimed that Frondier was actually a demon.
Of course, it’s nonsense, but for those who don’t know, the power of the devil is the greatest evidence of the devil.
“In the end, Frontier is also destined to become a giant.”
“Well, I expected it to some extent.”
While the demons say so, Satan is still watching the screen.
‘He took advantage of the fact that he was misunderstood as a devil and was kicked out of the continent, and this time he came out as the devil first.’
In addition, we understand the characteristics of Pantemonium and even prepare to blind ourselves with magic first.
Satan smiled.
‘It’s fun as expected, Frontier. ‘I’m really desperate for a strong topic.’
Meanwhile, Lucifer’s eyes narrowed.
“I want to know what the trigger is, whether it’s the Fate of the Giants or something.”
“Trigger?”
“Eclexis is a power that humans can never use if they don’t know it. Even if you know the existence of power, it’s the same if you don’t know that you can use it. Look at how so many people have received divine power but are unable to manifest their Ecclesir. “There is someone who showed me that I can do it.”
Satan nodded at those words.
A power that cannot be used if you do not know it. It certainly is. Even though humans have been so close to divine power, they have never been able to use it.
Satan looked at the screen.
One of them caught the eye of Satan.
‘… ‘That devil.’
There was a demon who did not faint from Frondier’s power and seemed unaffected in the first place.
It is a devil that even Satan knows.
Arald, a man who was once the chairman of Hitchcock.
Although we do not know why he is following Frondier, he is the most likely candidate to have taught Frondier about the Eclexis.
There, Mamon tilted his head.
“… “Frondier, it seems like it’s not affected by the ‘human contract’.”
“Okay. “It’s too easy to use Eclexis.”
Beelzebub agrees.
Satan took a deep breath and said, “Hmm.”
“We are here, so we cannot sense what kind of ecclexis the Frontier has, but there are only two outcomes. Either he passed out or he didn’t.”
“Is it an effect that stuns the opponent? “It’s quite useful.”
“No.”
A voice that denies Mammon’s guess.
It’s Asmodeus.
“According to reports, that fainting was nothing more than a consequence. Those who are affected by Frontier’s power feel something there, and as a result of not being able to overcome what they felt, they faint.”
“… “If it gets worse, you could die?”
“In fact, the first time Frontier used Eclexis, the demon that hit him died.”
There are seven sins frowning upon it.
Mammon asked, looking at Satan.
“Satan, can you do that? “Killing someone with ecclexis.”
“You could make someone go crazy with anger and eventually die, but it would be impossible to elicit that kind of immediate reaction. “There is no guarantee that you will die just because you are swallowed up by anger.”
Mammon, this time I see Lucifer.
“What about Lucifer?”
“It’s impossible. My power has little to do with human death. In fact, in some cases, it creates a better environment to live in. Moreover, it is difficult to break a trained human mind, and even if it is broken, it does not directly lead to death.”
There Beelzebub said to Mammon:
“Mammon, if there was a demon that could instantly kill someone with Eclexis, we would have chosen a king early on.”
“Ahahahaha. You can’t be decisive. “That’s not all the devil is.”
Satan speaks first, smiling as if to appease Beelzebub. That’s how sensitive Beelzebub’s remarks were.
However, Satan narrowed his eyes and said something more.
“… Well, the one that could cause the most similar effect was Belphegor, right?”
“Eww!”
Astaroth, who had been quiet, responded.
Mamon didn’t care about that reaction and placed his hand on his chin and nodded his head.
“I see. “Because Belphegor turns people into living corpses.”
“Anyway, if the purpose is to create an invoice, it is the same whether it is a purchased invoice or just an invoice.”
Conversation between Mammon and Satan.
Astaroth couldn’t bear it anymore and spoke.
“Well, if I put my mind to it, I can do that too…” … !”
“Ahahahaha, don’t get too worked up, Astaroth. “I’m not asking you to do that.”
Satan advised in a gentle tone.
The tone was gentle, but the content was extremely cold.
You can’t There was nothing else besides that meaning.
Satan glanced at Beelzebub and said:
“According to Beelzebub’s logic, our king should have been Belphegor.”
“… No, I only said that because I attached meaning to ‘death’ itself.”
Beelzebub shook his head. This and that are different. A tone that seems decisive.
There, Lucifer crossed his arms.
“I don’t really deny it.”
Everyone looked at Lucifer in surprise.
In particular, Satan spoke to Lucifer with an interesting look on his face.
“Lucifer thinks very highly of Belphegor. The devil of arrogance. “I don’t think I would agree with you the most.”
“Whatever it means, everything is not right. “This guy is full of things I can’t understand.”
Lucifer let out a displeased huff.
But those eyes do not contain disgust or contempt.
“One is strong. Most of the things I couldn’t understand were weaker than mine. So I accepted it. “The fact that they were different from me was evidence of their weakness.”
This is Lucifer, the devil of arrogance.
Since it is at the pinnacle of all strength, it is the height of arrogance where anything different from it becomes wrong.
“But Belphegor is different. It’s a mess that nothing can understand, but it’s still strong. It is a being that directly denies my theory. That’s why I get irritated just by looking at it, but I have no choice but to admit it.”
“… “That strength surpasses you?”
Satan once again lightly provokes Lucifer. He touches arrogance.
Lucifer shook his head.
“I don’t want to kill him. Even if I fight and win, I won’t be able to understand Belphegor until the end. So he’s okay with being king. A king! Doesn’t it look very out of place with Belphegor?hahahaha!”
Lucifer smiles really happily.
Mamon sighs at that.
“… Well, it was so out of character that I had no intention of doing it myself.”
“It did. “It was a meaningless assumption.”
Satan agreed, and for a moment they talked to each other about the topic of Belphegor.
There was only one person inside, Astaroth, who could not say anything and was trembling.
From Noble mtl dot com
It is he who is now in sloth’s place. A body that stands in the same position as the other seven sins here.
However, the remaining seven sins all talk about Belphegor.
“Uh, I guess Frontier is up to something.”
Then Satan reacted.
He still doesn’t look at Astaroth casually.
“… “You want to kill a human being?”
“Right.”
Satan nodded his head.
The corners of his eyes lowered slightly.
“I hope it gets over quickly.”
* * *
Paladin Charon tugged at one corner of his mouth as he watched the bow pointed at him.
“Are you going to kill me?”
“Okay.”
“What is the reason?”
“Because I am the devil.”
This is an absurd reason.
But if it’s the devil, that might be enough of a reason.
Of course, from Charon’s point of view, this is shocking.
‘What a devil, what kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?’
Charon received all the information from Athena and Bael. I know very well what kind of person Frontier is.
Although he is quite strong, he has no divine power. He didn’t make a pact with the devil.
Bael advised them never to fight, but Charon did not care about Frondier due to the fact that the two had no power.
It was surprising that he survived his operation, but it was not something that would change the game.
“… “That’s strange.”
Charon spoke to Frontier, still with a wry smile on his face.
“A bow at this distance. Don’t you know what will happen if you go astray? “While you’re picking up the arrow again, cut off that neck.”
Charon’s mouth, which had been speaking confidently, stopped.
The eyes that were examining Frondier’s bow finally discovered a certain fact.
“… “That bow.”
“Huh?”
Frondier’s eyes blinked once.
“Do you know this bow?”
“… “No, I don’t know.”
Frondier’s smile deepened at that.
“I guess so.”
This is the devil’s bow.
[Slinderis’ Bow]
•Grade: Unique
•Description: A bow used by the demon Slytheris. The devil himself died young, but through several devils, his fame rose and his bow’s level increased. When the weapon itself is more powerful than the weapon’s owner. However, because the devil’s name is fixed, there is a limit to his growth.
Ability Details ＞
– Focus: Fly towards the enemy targeted by the user.
This bow is the same bow that fired the arrow that was shot by Frondier and his party and that hit Pielot.
When Pielot was rescued, this bow was lying next to the dead demon, and Frondier naturally absorbed the bow into his workshop.
Like Chrysellakatos, the Bow of Artemis originally used by Frondier, it has a firing range, but the description is slightly different.
‘It is a bow that does not necessarily hit the targeted enemy, but rather flies towards that enemy.’
It is impossible for an arrow fired with Chrysellakatos to hit instead, as in the case of Pielot. In order to minimize damage, the person being hit by the arrow must block the arrow, block it, or withstand it with strong defense.
In other words, this bow is somewhat backwards compatible.
‘There’s no way you can say you know this bow.’
Of course, Charon knows about this bow, but since it is the devil’s bow, he cannot say that even if he wakes up from death.
And while Charon can’t say it, it’s further proof that Frondier is the devil.
“Slynderis’ Bow…”
“I thought it was gone, but maybe it was taken away by that devil?”
Some of the gods recognized this bow. That’s why it is a famous axis among devil’s bows. It was a good thing for Frontier.
“Now, try blocking it.”
With those words, Frontier laid down his bowstring,
Hiss!
The arrow flew towards Charon in a curved trajectory.
“… Tsk!”
Cough!
Charon, who knows the characteristics of the bow, blocks it with his sword.
Ssuk!
“?!”
Immediately after that, another arrow grazed Charon’s shoulder.
‘How so quickly… !’
If you fire an arrow once, there is time until the next arrow. Take an arrow out of the quiver, pull the bowstring, aim, and shoot.
Even though aiming was not necessary due to its characteristics, the attack just now was too fast.
“Shall we take it a little slower?”
And when I looked again, Frondier was already holding an arrow again.
‘… That guy, I see now that he doesn’t have a quiver!’
Charon noticed that there were no arrows on Frondeer’s waist or back.
This is natural, since the Frontier also weaves arrows.
And those woven arrows.
“… Huh?!”
Dump
Charon kneels.
After the arrow grazed his shoulder, a strange pain assailed him.
“Keu, ugh, ugh…” … !”
Even if he tries to come to his senses, he cannot control the trembling of his fingertips.
‘This can’t be… !’
Yes.
He cloned the bow, so there’s no reason not to clone the arrow.
An arrow filled with the mana of the demon world.
Charon is now feeling the same pain that Pielot went through.
‘It’s not the same.’
Frontier has a calm face, but behind it is an invisible anger.
Pielot took the arrow in the abdomen to protect Selena.
Then, he was pulled by an arrow and received a huge wound, and the mana of the demon world flowed out.
I felt a pain that could not be compared to Charon’s pain after just grazing his shoulder, and I killed all the demons in that state.
But a guy called Paladin gets down on his knees just because his shoulder was slightly grazed?
“How long are you going to be living there?”
Frontier smiles.
It’s not pleasant, happy, or funny.
A smile fueled by quite obviously murderous intent.
“Wake up, Paladin.”
Frontier said, pulling a protest.
“Aren’t you supposed to protect people?”
